Da Qin: I exposed myself as a time traveler, why are you Zhao Gao panicking?

Chapter 129 In front of Xunzi, even the Prime Minister of Qin was just a student!

Xunzi's voice was calm, but it seemed to contain an invisible pressure.

Li Si lowered his head, feeling bitter in his heart.

He knew that the teacher was mocking him.

He answered cautiously: "Teacher is ridiculous. In front of the teacher, students are always the disciples who need to continue to learn and improve."

Xunzi said nothing more, just glanced at him lightly, then turned and walked towards the city.

Li Si followed, uneasy in his heart.

He didn't know what the purpose of Xunzi's trip was, nor how he could make up for his past mistakes.

During the process of entering the city, Li Si always maintained a respectful and cautious attitude.

He did not dare to be slack or presumptuous in the slightest, for fear that his words and deeds would arouse Xunzi's disgust.

He always paid attention to Xunzi's face and tone, trying to figure out the teacher's thoughts.

Now, he was afraid that any word or action he said would touch the old wounds in the teacher's heart and arouse Xunzi's resentment.

Therefore, he always maintains a high degree of vigilance and caution.

Whenever he spoke, he would think over and over whether his wording was appropriate and whether it would cause Xunzi's dissatisfaction.

His eyes have always followed Xunzi, paying attention to every subtle expression change of the teacher, trying to figure out the teacher's mind from it.

"Teacher, this along the way, you have worked hard." Li Si said carefully, breaking the silence between the two.

Xunzi turned his head slightly, glanced at him, and said calmly: "As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, you have many things to do every day, but you still go out of the city to greet him personally. This is really hard work."

Li Si's heart tightened and he hurriedly said: "No matter how the student's identity changes, his respect and gratitude for the teacher remain the same. It is the student's honor to see the teacher again."

Xunzi snorted noncommittally and turned his gaze to the distance: "You are now in great power, but do you still remember the days when you were studying in Lanling?"

Li Si was shocked. He knew that Xunzi was testing his attitude.

He hurriedly lowered his eyes and replied respectfully: "Students always keep it in mind. The teachers' teachings and classmates' debates in those years have benefited the students a lot."

This conversation made Li Si walk on thin ice. He was always paying attention to Xunzi's reaction, for fear that he would say the wrong thing.

Xunzi always kept deep eyes, making people unable to see through his inner thoughts.

Under such pressure, Li Si felt unprecedentedly nervous and panicked.

"Teacher, please enter the house." Li Si's voice showed deep respect and expectations. He hoped that he could wash the wind and dust for Xunzi in his mansion and narrate the old love to make up for the alienation and gap over the years.

However, Xunzi did not immediately respond to Li Si's invitation.

He stood there quietly, staring at the former student in front of him with burning eyes.

Time has carved deep marks on Li Si's face, but his eyes still reveal the energy and ambition of those days.

The corners of Xunzi's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm that was imperceptible.

He spoke slowly, with a coldness in his voice: "What? Is Prime Minister Li planning to harm his teacher?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly hitting the depths of Li Si's soul.

He raised his head suddenly and looked at Xunzi in disbelief.

There was no joking expression on the teacher's face, and the indifference and disappointment in those deep eyes made Li Si feel a chill to his bones.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and Li Si felt that it became difficult to breathe.

He knew that he had to say something to break the awkward silence, but he didn't know what to say to calm the teacher.

He felt unprecedented panic and helplessness, and didn't know how to restore his image in the teacher's mind. He immediately knelt down and explained in panic: "Teacher, it's clear! The student never meant this! The student invited the teacher into the house purely out of respect and gratitude to the teacher. The student knew that he had done many wrong things in the past, but he invited the teacher I believe that students have been reflecting and repenting.”

Xunzi looked at Li Si kneeling on the ground, a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

He did not immediately help Li Si up, but turned around and walked towards the carriage, leaving a message at the same time: "Let's go into the city. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it in the city."

Li Si looked at Xunzi's back, full of fear and anxiety.

He knew that Xunzi's visit to Xianyang was neither by chance nor simply to reminisce about the past.

The teacher was obviously still angry with him, and the anger seemed deeper than he imagined.

Li Si didn't dare to neglect at all, and immediately got up and followed Xunzi into the city.

The carriage shuttles in the city, and Li Si's heart is undulating.

He was always paying attention to Xunzi's face and tone, trying to find any sign of relaxation.

However, Xunzi always maintained that unfathomable attitude that made him elusive.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a secluded house in the city.

Xunzi got out of the car and walked straight into the courtyard, followed closely by Li Si.

After entering the courtyard, Xunzi did not speak immediately. Instead, he sat at the stone table in the courtyard and motioned for Li Si to sit down as well.

After Li Si sat down with anxiety, he spoke cautiously: "Teacher, do you have any advice for me when you come to Xianyang this time?"

He tried to guide the topic to understand the real intentions of Xunzi.

However, Xunzi did not answer his question directly, but asked: "Do you think your past behavior is right or wrong?"

His eyes were fixed on Li Si, as if waiting for a satisfactory answer.

This question made Li Si fall into silence.

He knew that his past actions were definitely wrong in Xunzi's view, but he could not deny that those actions were indeed reasonable and necessary under the circumstances at that time.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "Students know that they have done many wrong things in the past, but teachers, please believe that students have been reflecting and repenting."

He once again expressed his regret and determination.

However, Xunzi did not ease the attitude because of this. He sneered and said, "Reflection? Repentance? Everyone is like a cricket. After doing something wrong, you can say a reflection and repentance. ?”

His words were sharp and profound and struck deep into Li Si's heart.

At this moment, Li Si was even more certain that the master came this time because he was angry with him because of his past actions.

He felt unprecedented panic and helplessness, and didn't know how to restore his image in the teacher's mind.

Li Si's heart was in chaos, and he knew that his situation was extremely bad.

Xunzi's attitude made him feel unprecedented pressure and panic. He couldn't imagine what he would mean if he lost the support and recognition of the teacher.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.

He knew that the most important thing now was to find a way to win back Xunzi's heart, and to do this, he had to find someone who could guide him.

Li Si thought of someone, Qin Chi!

He once helped himself to enlighten him and his teacher, and perhaps this time he could also indicate a bright road for him.

Thinking of this, Li Si no longer hesitated and immediately set off to find Qin Chi.

He hurriedly said goodbye to Xunzi, left the mansion, ordered his servants to prepare their horses, and headed for Tingwei's Mansion.
